Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since I travel a lot, and, unfortunately, I travel alone most of the times, it would be great to find people who could show me some new and unusual places in their countries or other travelers to explore the new places with.

Interests

I really like spending time with people and taking part in different activities with my friends and acquaintances. I often go to eat or drink out, I especially like bars and pubs with a comfortable, somewhat unique atmosphere. I also enjoy outdoor picnics in big companies and visit board game events. When I travel, I enjoy sightseeing and discovering new interesting places as well as relaxing on the beach and swimming in the sea - the sea is one of my greatest passions. In general, I am open to anything new, so I would like to make new friends who will help me experience something I have never tried before.

Music, Movies, and Books

The music I listen to depends on my mood - I can listen to pretty much everything except rap and primitive pop, but I mostly prefer alternative music. I don't have certain movie genre preferences as well - I can watch a thriller, a drama, a psychological movie or even a romantic comedy sometimes. However, I tend to like movies based on real-life events more than other movies. As for reading, I prefer psychology and self-help books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done quite a lot of amazing things in life - I've been to many places that impressed me a lot, I've written hundreds of beautiful poems and lyrics, I've met a lot of people who influenced my life somehow and had their lives influenced by me. But if I'm to choose just one thing, I'd say that I've been able to stay positive and optimistic despite all the difficult times in my life and to keep my heart open despite everyone who made it a mess before.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have some experience in teaching English and can help those who need language practice.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my travel and life experiences and just be good company - you can talk to me about pretty much everything. I am always willing to lend an ear and give people my support when they need it. And I am a good drinking mate, too :)
